Durante el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer, mujeres latinas de todo Carolina del Norte se reunieron el jueves por la mañana frente a la Asamblea General estatal para llamar la atención sobre las consecuencias reales de recientes decisiones de política federal y recortes presupuestarios que están afectando a las familias trabajadoras.

“North Carolinians have already paid billions in unlawful tariffs – our farmers, our manufacturers, and our communities can’t bear more,” Jackson said in a press release. “I’m taking the federal government to court because they broke the law again, they harmed North Carolinians, and I can prove it.”

About 600,000 children in our state rely on federal food assistance programs such as SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

The grants include $24 million for mitigation projects and $16 million for volunteer rebuilding efforts, in order to help the region with long-term recovery efforts and help communities there better withstand future natural disasters.

For many North Carolinians, the most common forms of identification won’t qualify. Even the Real ID driver’s licenses that residents have spent years obtaining wouldn’t work because North Carolina licenses don’t list citizenship status.

“Whatley has already profited from policy decisions he championed, eroding what little trust people already have in Washington politicians,” Cooper said. “I believe candidates must earn the trust of North Carolinians.”

Organizaciones defensoras de inmigrantes y expertos legales advierten que esta postura choca con las protecciones de la Cuarta Enmienda de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, que protege contra registros e incautaciones irrazonables.

“Whatley has already profited from policy decisions he championed, eroding what little trust people already have in Washington politicians,” Cooper said. “I believe candidates must earn the trust of North Carolinians.”

The Governor’s message was rooted in a stark disparity: while the federal government has committed roughly $7 billion to North Carolina since the 2024 storm, that figure represents only 12% of the estimated $60 billion in total damages. By contrast, Stein noted that major disasters like Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy saw federal coverage closer to 70%.

As the race moves toward the March primary, the contrast is becoming clear. Cooper is calling for answers and reforms after deadly federal enforcement actions, while Whatley has stayed silent as families and communities demand accountability.

Two newly released polls paint a stark picture of the rising concerns from North Carolinians around the U.S. economy and Trump’s tariffs.

“In the last two years alone in North Carolina, we have lost 19,262 teachers to other jobs; we have 7,000 teaching vacancies in the profession right now,” said Bryan Proffitt with NCAE, during the press conference.

The Western Carolina University students braved a 35-minute, 1.5-mile walk along a busy four-lane rural highway with no sidewalks to bring attention to the distance between students and the polls created by the Republican-controlled state board of elections.
